"Postgraduate development studies for students of one nation would be a nonsense." IDS Director @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social talks about the discriminatory anti-immigration rules introduced by the Starmer government. 👇 www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

Amid gloomy prospects for development cooperation and multilateralism, we need to celebrate bright spots when they appear. Recent election results in Canada and Australia may show potential for progressive agendas and positive change, and more collective eforts www.ids.ac.uk/opinions/glo...

IDS Director @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social talks about how the UK will “suffer the consequences” of not having the knowledge and evidence garnered by overseas development research if budget cuts spell the end of funding. 👇 #ODA

International Women’s Day called for rights, equality & empowerment for all women & girls but the drastic cuts made to international development budgets have made this much harder to achieve, writes @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social 👇 www.ids.ac.uk/opinions/dev... #IWD25 #GenderJustice #GenderRights

The International Development Minister has resigned over the #UKaid budget cut. Anneliese Dodds knows just how devastating the ODA cut will be to the poorest people in the world and how damaging it is for the UK’s global reputation, and its security. www.ids.ac.uk/news/devasta... @ids.ac.uk

This really is a short-sighted decision….

Check out this super interesting blog from my @k4dd.ids.ac.uk colleague Izzy Birch, giving an overview of what the evidence is telling us will be the key trends for #Development over the next decade. @ids.ac.uk @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social @stephenthomo.bsky.social @bloggs74.bsky.social

In our latest blog, @ids.ac.uk Director @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social shares his very personal story how being an acriculture teacher in Botswana shaped his perception of development and coloniality and led him to engage in debates around decolonising knowledge www.developmentresearch.eu?p=2146

As the #USAIDfreeze continues, it is already “having a direct effect on people whose lives are already vulnerable,” says @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social director of the Institute of Development Studies, in this article from @nbcnews.com 👇 www.nbcnews.com/news/world/d... #USAID

"The sudden stop order on #USAID funded activities has had an immediate negative impact on critical humanitarian and development work around the world." @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social shares analysis of the short-term impacts and longer-term consequences 👇 www.ids.ac.uk/opinions/the... #USAIDFreeze

Musk called #USAID evil but frankly Musk is evil. Why else would he celebrate #USAIDFreeze? As noted by @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social @ids.ac.uk the closure has far-reaching implications for human health & wellbeing, incl spread of HIV & Mpox, women's health & #water #sanitation projects

Very sad to learn that Stephen Biggs has died. He was an inspiration on agricultural and rural development at @IDS.ac.uk in the early 1970s, and remained both committed and grounded right to the end. RIP. @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social
